Firebird 2.5 package is now replaced by Firebird 3.0 in Debian Unstable
Firebird 2.5 package is now replaced by Firebird3.0 in Debian Unstable.
And here is the reason from Damyan :
Please remove the firebird2.5 source package and the corresponding
binary packages from unstable.According to the roadmap¹, upstream intents to drop support for
Firebird 2.5 in 2017.http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/roadmap/
Debian has the next major version 3.0 in sid/stretch, so I want to
avoid the need to support for stretch two variants of the codebase,
one of them possibly without upstream supprt.

Poor man’s full-text search using PSQL only on Firebird
Article by Jiří {x2} Činčura:
I was presenting this idea on this year’s Firebird Conference. It’s an idea, working with some constraints of Firebird, but one can take it as an inspiration and maybe extend it to another usage on another platform. We had quite a productive discussion about possible improvements (I’ll describe mines at the end), but unless the people will provide the ideas in comments here too, you’ll have to use your own brain (you should’ve been there ;)).
I’ll show you the initial idea with some simple speed improvement of PSQL code itself. And then describe options in how to store it better, mostly because it’s very specific to needs and you’ll need to tune it for your scenario.
